【Objective】 To explore the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma(PRP) in the treatment of dry eye syndrome. 【Methods】 A total of 64 patients with dry eye treated in the Ophthalmology Department of Jingdong Sino-American Hospital of Hebei Province from March to November 2023 were randomly selected for the study. The patients were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 32 cases and 64 eyes in each group. The control group was treated with artificial tears of polyvinyl alcohol without preservatives, and the observation group was treated with PRP eye drops. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Overall efficacy, duration of symptom resolution, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), tear film break up time (TBUT), schirmer's test(St) and corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) results of the two groups were observed and compared in 4 weeks. 【Results】 After 4 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of observation group was 96.88%(31/32), which was significantly higher than that of control group 84.38%(27/32), with statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the St, TBUT, CFS, OSDI and lacrimal river height in observation group were significantly superior to control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The disappearance time of dryness, visual fatigue and foreign body sensation in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 46.875%(15/32), and there was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group. 【Conclusion】 Autologous PRP is an effective and safe choice for the treatment of dry eye syndrome, which is worthy of further study and confirmation.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of different anticoagulants on platelet-rich plasma(PRP) release content of growth factor and injection pain. 【Methods】 A total of 15 voluntary blood donors were selected, with each blood donor using four kinds of anticoagulant tubes with EDTA-K2 anticoagulation, EDTA-NA2 anticoagulation, citrate anticoagulation, ACD-A anticoagulation respectively as group A, B, C and D. PRP was isolated and prepared by the rich plasma method, and the contents of PDGF-AA, TGF-β, IGF-1, VEGF, and PF-4 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Meanwhile, SD rats (20, 4 / group) were injected subcutaneously or intradermally with the supernatant of PRP and PG gel prepared in the 4 groups and normal saline in the control group. The pain status of SD rats during the injection was observed and recorded. The pain status of the 5 groups of experimental animals was evaluated according to the American Laboratory Animal Pain Guide. 【Results】 The platelet counts in PRP in group D was the highest [(1 294.53±277.37) × 10⁹/L], which was significantly higher than that in group A [ (789.13±377.13) ×10⁹/L] and group C [ (990.94±493.12) ×10⁹/L] (P<0.05). The OD value of PDGF-AA in group A, B, C, and D were 1.51± 0.18, 1.69±0.21, 0.66±0.19and 1.72±0.13, respectively, with statistically significant difference between groups (P<0.05 ) and group D better than the other three groups. The OD value of PF-4 was 1.18±0.24, 1.61±0.14, 0.65±0.26 and 1.72±0.10 respectively, with statistically significant difference between groups (P<0.05) and group D better than other three groups. The OD value of IGF-1 was 1.02±0.08, 0.98±0.11, 1.06±0.11 and 1.32±0.65 respectively, with no significant difference between groups (P>0.05). The OD value of VEGF was 0.13±0.04, 0.21±0.14, 0.08±0.02 and 0.13±0.04 respectively, with statistically significant difference between group B and C (P<0.05). The OD value of TGF-β was 0.14±0.01, 0.15±0.01, 0.28±0.17 and 1.10±0.37 respectively, with statistically significant difference between groups (P<0.05) and group D better than other three groups. Comparison of injection pain: when the supernatant of PRP and PG gel was injected, there were significant differences between group A, B, C and D, and the control group (P<0.05) . The median pain scores of PRP injection of group A, B, C, and D were 6 (1.5), 5 (0.75), 4.5 (2.5), and 3(3) respectively, with group D lower than other three groups, and no statistically significant difference was noticed (P>0.05) . The median pain scores of the PG supernatant injection of group A, B, C, and D were 4 (2.25), 3 (2.75), 4 (3), 1 (1.5), and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the PRP injection group and the PG supernatant group (P> 0.05). 【Conclusion】 PRP prepared by two-step centrifugation with ACD-A anticoagulant can obtain the higher platelet counts and the maximum release of PDGF-AA, PF-4, IGF-1, and TGF-β. In terms of pain, ACD-A anticoagulant injection has the lowest pain with the animals.

【Objective】 To share the experience of autologous platelet-rich plasma(PRP) combined therapy in successful treatment of refractory osteomyelitis with fractures in children. 【Methods】 One case of refractory osteomyelitis with fracture in children failed to respond to traditional treatment for more than 14 months. A total of 20 mL of whole blood was collected from the child, and 6 mL of PRP with 4 to 5 times concentration was prepared by secondary centrifugation. To prepare 2 cm×2 cm platelet concentrate gel (PG), 3 mL of PRP was mixed with a 0.3 mL activator which was then covered with an absorbable dressing. A three-way tube sprayed the remaining 3 mL of PRP and 0.3 mL activator into the surrounding tissues. 【Results】 The X-ray film of the patient followed up for 1 week showed that the fracture line was blurred, and the fracture end had obvious callus formation. The X-ray film reexamination at 4 months showed that the fracture end healed well, the fracture surface healed, and the osteomyelitis healed. 【Conclusion】 Autologous PRP has a good effect in the treatment of refractory osteomyelitis combined with fracture in children, which can provide a new method for clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To develop a spray-on membrane dressing for wound repair containing platelet rich plasma (PRP) sodium alginate (SA)/agarose(AG)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). 【Methods】 SA/AG/ CMCS were mixed in different proportions to prepare biodegradable quick setting spray (BQSS) by blending film method, and the film-forming time, moisture retention and compression resistance of the prepared BQSS were tested. Then PRP and BQSS were mixed in the proportion of 3∶7, 4∶6, 5∶5, 6∶4 and 7∶3 to prepare PRP-BQSS spray film dressings. The film-forming time, moisture retention, compressive strength, porosity and slow-release effect of growth factors of PRP-BQSS spray film dressings were studied. 【Results】 In the preparation of BQSS compound spray film solution, when SA, AG, CMCS and sterile distilled water were 0.6∶0.6∶0.6∶98.2g, the film-forming time (7.73±0.31) s, moisture retention (75. 54±3.03) % and compression resistance (791.00±68.02) g of the spray-film dressing were the best. The basic properties of PRP-BQSS spray-on film dressings and the release of growth factors show that PRP-BQSS spray-on film dressings can exist in different forms, and with the decrease of PRP concentration percentage, its film-forming time, moisturizing performance and compressive strength showed an upward trend. When the PRP content is 30%, the porosity of the dressing is the highest, about(84.34±0.90)%. The release of platelet-derived growth factor-AA(PDGF-AA), platelet factor-4(PF-4) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) was in a slow upward trend, and the release of the three growth factors was higher than that of PRP group in 48 hours. 【Conclusion】 The preparation method of PRP-BQSS spray film dressing designed in this study is simple and mild, and can form a film quickly, with good biological properties and better growth factor inhibition and sustained-release effect.

Objective:To prepare specific anti- Fusarium yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) and investigate its tolerance to temperature and pH and verify its antifungal effect against Fusarium. Methods:Eighteen 22-week-old Leghorn laying hens were selected and randomized into negative control group and experimental group according to the random number table method, with 9 hens in each group.The 2×10 7 colony forming units (CFU)/ml suspension of inactivated hyphae of Fusarium and Freund complete adjuvant was mixed in a 1∶1 ratio and emulsified.The hens in the experimental group were injected with 1 ml of the mixture to immunize and received 1 ml of Freund incomplete adjuvant as booster injection at two weeks after the initial injection.The egg yolk was collected from the 5th to 16th week after immunization.Specific anti- Fusarium IgY protein was prepared by salting out method using ammonium sulfate.The obtained protein solution was put into a freeze dryer and made into freeze-dried powder stored at 4 ℃.The hens in the negative control group were injected with 0.9% sodium chloride to prepare the non-specific antibody as the negative control.Bradford method was used to determine the concentration of specific egg IgY protein and the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure its titer.The 1×10 5 CFU/ml and 1×10 3 CFU/ml Fusarium suspension were cultured with different concentrations of IgY and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 4 days, and the absorbance value at 600 nm was measured.The co-incubated PBS/negative IgY with Fusarium solution was set as blank control/negative control accordingly.The concentration-killing curve of anti- Fusarium IgY against Fusarium was obtained.The specific IgY solution was diluted to 0.02 mg/ml with PBS pH 7.4, and the diluted specific IgY solution was placed into the water bath for 30 minutes at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 ℃, respectively, and was cooled down to room temperature.The specific IgY solution was diluted to 0.02 mg/ml with PBS pH 1, pH 2, pH 3, pH 4, pH 5, pH 6, pH 7, pH 8, pH 9, pH 10, pH 11, pH 12, respectively, and the diluted specific IgY solution was placed at 4 ℃ for one hour.The activity of diluted specific IgY solution by different methods was measured by indirect ELISA, and the tolerance of IgY to various temperatures and pH was evaluated.Twelve 8-week-old SPF female C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomized into the PBS control group and specific IgY treatment group according to the random table method, with 6 mice in each group.The right eyes of the 12 mice were infected with Fusarium to establish mice model of fungal keratitis.One day after modeling, 200 mg/ml of anti- Fusarium IgY was dropped to the right eyes of mice in the specific IgY treatment group, and PBS was dropped to the right eyes of mice in the PBS control group.The corneas of mice in the two groups were observed under the slit lamp microscope at 1, 3 and 5 days following modeling, and the corneal ulcer was scored according to the grading scale for inflammation score.The use and care of experimental animals followed the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology statement.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (No.QYFYWZLL26168). Results:The IgY protein concentration from the 5th to 16th week after immunization was 1.57, 2.89, 24.98, 25.09, 23.89, 25.78, 21.57, 21.37, 18.98, 15.78, 14.67, 12.67 mg/ml, respectively.The titer of IgY was increased from the 5th week, and it reached the highest titer 1∶10 000 at the 7th week, which could be maintained until the 12th week after immunization before it dropped gradually.The concentration-killing curve showed that compared with the blank control group and negative control group, Fusarium grew slowly in the specific IgY treatment group.The specific IgY with a titer greater than 1∶10 000 had thermal stability below 60 ℃.The activity of specific IgY was highest at pH 4 to 6, which could be maintained above 70% at pH 3 to 9 and was further reduced with the decrease or increase of pH.At 1, 3 and 5 days after Fusarium infection, the inflammation scores were 3.50±0.55, 7.33±0.82, 4.00±0.63 in the PBS control group, and 3.33±0.82, 4.17±0.75, 2.50±0.55 in the specific IgY treatment group.There was a statistically significant overall difference in inflammation scores at various time points between the two groups ( Fgroup=247.35, P<0.05; Ftime=23.19, P<0.05). At 3 and 5 days after Fusarium infection, there was a smaller ulcer area and decreased inflammation scores in the specific IgY treatment group compared with the PBS control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:The high titer specific IgY can be successfully prepared by salting out method using ammonium sulfate, which is with high stability, tolerance to temperature and pH.Moreover, it can alleviate the severity of corneal ulcers and reduce inflammation scores in the mouse model of fungal keratitis.

【Objective】 To discuss the effect of temperature on the quality of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared manually. 【Methods】 A total of 120 peripheral blood samples (60 mL/ person) were collected from healthy voluntary blood donors in the Blood Center of General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from May 10, 2010 to September 10, 2010. Each whole blood sample (60mL/ person) was randomly divided into 3 aliquots(20 mL each), totaling 360 aliquots, then divided into 9 groups (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3), with 40 aliquots in each group. In group A: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (4±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group A1, A2, and A3, respectively. In group B: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (24±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group B1, B2 and B3 respectively. In group C: the ambient temperature for PRP preparation was set to (30±2)℃, and the temperature for PRP preparation and centrifugal bin was (4±2)℃, (24±2)℃ and (30±2)℃ for group C1, C2 and C3 respectively. Platelet concentrates were separated and prepared by rich slurry method, and the platelet recovery rate was calculated for each group, the platelet morphology was observed under the microscope, and the concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were quantitatively determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 【Results】 The platelet count and platelet recovery rate were compared as follows: among group A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2 and C3, the results of A3, B3 and C3were (489.2±21.47) × 10⁹/L vs (495.7±23.2) ×10⁹/L vs (489.4±17.1) ×10⁹/L and (57.4±2.3)% vs (54.9±1.3)% vs (50.7±2.3)%, respectively, all showed platelet aggregation, and the differences, relative to A1 and A2, B1 and B2, and C1 and C2, were statistically significant (P<0.05). Microscopic observation was as follows: in the PRPs collected from group A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2, the platelet cells were uniform in size and without aggregation; in the PRPs collected from group A3, B3 and C3, some platelets showed aggregation. Determination of growth factor content was as follows: the content of TGF-β(ng/L) and PDGF-BB(ng/L) was 375.0±119.1 vs 183.67±106.2 and 933.0±273.0 vs 656±113.0 in the non-aggregation group and the aggregation group, respectively (P<0.05), while the content of VEGF(ng/L) was 217.5±93.5 vs 155.3±103.4 (P>0.05), with no statistically difference. 【Conclusion】 The ambient temperature had little effect on the preparation of PRP, and the temperature of the centrifuge bin was better to be maintained at (24±2)℃.

【Objective】 To analyze the influencing factors of clinical efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. 【Methods】 From January, 2019 to December, 2021, 151 outpatients with androgenetic alopecia were treated in our hospital. All patients were treated with autologous PRP injection once a month and planned to received injection for 4-6 occasions. According to the hair growth before and after treatment, the treatment results were evaluated. The influencing factors in the treatment results were grouped and analyzed, including the treatment numbers (divided into 1-6 occasions), the grade of alopecia(three grades: mild, moderate and severe alopecia) and the Plt concentration in PRP[five grades(×10⁹/L): extremely low concentration (<800), low concentration (801-1 000) and medium concentration (1 001-1 200), high concentration(1 201-1 500)and extremely high concentration(>1 501)]. 【Results】 The correlation coefficient between the number of treatments and the effective rate was pearson=0.986, P<0.001, showing a positive correlation. There was a statistical difference in the total number of treatments between groups (P<0.01). As to the severity of alopecia: The effective rates of mild and moderate alopecia patients (66.67%, 56.95%) were higher than those of severe alopecia patients (35%). The difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). As to the concentration of Plt in PRP: The concentration of Plt directly affected the therapeutic effect. When the Plt count was (1 200-1 500)×10⁹/L, the effect was optimal, reaching 68.12%, which was significantly higher than the other four groups(P<0.01). The treatment numbers, alopecia grade and Plt concentration in PRP were all related to the effectiveness of treatment (P<0.05). When the OR value of treatment numbers and Plt concentration was >1, the effective rate increased by 2.619 times and 2.033 times, respectively, as treatment numbers and Plt concentration increased. When the OR value of the grade of alopecia was 0.338 (0<0.338<1), the effective rate decreased with the increase of alopecia severity; For each grade increased, the effective rate would be compromised by 0.338. 【Conclusion】 When PRP is applied to treat AGA patients, the clinical therapeutic effect will be better in patients who received more treatments, PRP with higher Plt count, and be in the early degree of hair loss. Whether the higher the concentration of Plt in PRP, the better the therapeutic effect will be, remains to be further verified.

【Objective】 To discuss the repair effect of lyophilized platelet lysate (PL) products on articular cartilage injury model of rats. 【Methods】 A total of 25 SD rats were injected with typeⅡcollagenase at the right knuckle articular cavity respectively on day 1, 3 and 5 of experiment, and the modeling conditions were observed 14 days after the last injection of collagenase. The SD rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into three groups, and were injected with lyophilized PL [Group A, 1 mL/(mouse·time)], PL [Group B, 1 mL/(mouse·time)], and normal saline[Group C, 1 mL/(mouse·time)]. The above three substances were injected with corresponding drugs on day 0, 7, 14 and 21 of experiment based on the grouping conditions, and the changes of knee joint diameters of the rats from the three groups were observed and compared. On day 14 and 28, one rat in each group was randomly killed and two knuckle articular cavities of each were taken for tissue sampling, using hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) and immunohistochemistry. 【Results】 After 14 days of modeling by injection of type Ⅱ collagenase, the proportion of successful modeling in rats was 84% (21/25), with the knee joint diameter (mm) before and after modeling at 12.84±1.14 vs 14.11±1.17(P<0.01). On day 14, 21 and 28, groups A and B were superior to group C in the knee joint diameter and activity improvement (P<0.05), with 13.33±1.16 vs 13.37±1.08 vs 14.21±1.08, 13.10±1.09 vs 13.01±1.04 vs 14.09±1.09 and 12.38±1.08 vs 12.51±1.03 vs 14.01±1.07, respectively. Histological observation showed that group A and B were superior to group C in the production and arrangement of chondrocytes and the positive expression of type Ⅱ collagen, and there was no significant difference between group A and group B. 【Conclusion】 The lyophilized PL has similar therapeutic effect to PL in the treatment and repair of articular cartilage injury, and is worthy of clinical application.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of postoperative bone nonunion for long bone shaft fractures during operation and after operation. 【Methods】 A total of 34 patients with postoperative bone nonunion for long bone shaft fracture, who were admitted and cured in the Orthopedics Department of our hospital from January 2019 to June 2020, were selected. They were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=17) and control group(n=17). Individuals in the control were treated with autologous iliac bone alone., while the experimental group were treated with autologous iliac bone graft plus autologous PRP during and after operation. After surgery, the autogenous PRP was accurately injected with ultrasound guidance every 7 days (5 mL/person, 4 occasions in total). The clinical healing time of the fracture, the grading of callus formation and the functional rehabilitation level of limbs on the affected side at different time were observed in both groups. 【Results】 All 34 patients were followed up. In the experimental group and the control group, the clinical healing time (month) of the fracture was (5.03±1.24) vs (6.91±1.41), P<0.05. The healing rate of the fracture for 6 months and 9 months was 94%(16/17)vs 59%(10/17)and 94%(16/17)vs 82%(14/17), respectively (P<0.05). The grading of callus formation within 3, 6 and 9 months was (2.11±0.69) vs (1.53±0.80), (3.06±0.90) vs (2.59±0.87) and (3.82±0.73) vs (3.35±0.86), respectively (P<0.05). The acceptance rate of functional rehabilitation of limbs on the affected side was 82.35%(14/17)vs 76.47%(13/17), P<0.05. 【Conclusion】 The application of autologous PRP in the treatment of postoperative bone nonunion for long bone shaft fractures during operation and after operation can achieve good clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of different noninvasive methods for the diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) and hepatic fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Method A prospective comparative study was performed for 91 patients with T2DM and NAFLD, which were diagnosed by glucose tolerance test and liver biopsy. The height and body mass of the patient were measured, and the body mass index(BMI) was calculated. The fasting venous blood of the patient was collected, and then the blood routine, liver function and ferritin were measured. NPS, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio(NLR), BARD score, FIB-4 index, APRI, and NAFLD fibrosis score(NFS) were calculated. All patients underwent transient elastography (Fibrotouch) to evaluate the degree of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter. All the liver biopsy specimens were categorized by SAF as the gold standard for evaluating NASH and liver fibrosis NASH. Correlation analysis was applied to compare the correlation between the noninvasive methods and SAF. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the diagnostic value of the noninvasive methods for NASH and liver fibrosis NASH. Results In T2DM combine with NAFLD patients, NPS, LSM, NFS, APRI, FIB4 and BMI scores were positively correlated with SAF (r value was 0.509, 0.508, 0.252, 0.396, 0.313 and 0.213, respectively; P value was <0.001, <0.001, 0.016,<0.001, 0.003 and 0.043, respectively). LSM, NPS, NFS and FIB4 scores were positively correlated with liver fibrosis (r value was 0.535, 0.337, 0.315 and 0.315, respectively; P value was <0.001, 0.001, 0.002, 0.002, respectively). The ROC curve shows that the area under the curve of NPS, LSM, APRI, FIB4 and BMI for diagnosing NASH was 0.838, 0.760, 0.734, 0.623 and 0.682, respectively, and P value was 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.044 and 0.003, respectively. For the diagnosis of fibrotic NASH, that value of LSM, NFS, FIB4 and NPS was 0.795, 0.765, 0.686 and 0.623, respectively, and P value was 0.000, 0.001, 0.020 and 0.123, respectively. Conclusions NPS, LSM and APRI have good clinical diagnostic value for NASH. LSM and NFS have good diagnostic value for fibrotic NASH.
